Gred & Forge's Journal, Dear Diary... Options

Dear Diary,

Today is our 9th birthday. Fred and I wanted some fireworks for our birthday, but Mom doesn't think it's a good idea. She gave us a journal and some quills and ink instead.

Maybe it's because she knows what we did with the ones we stole from under Charlie's bed a couple of months ago. - F

No way. She doesn't know - or she would have congratulated us for what it did to that gnome hole by the shed.

She might have if those gnomes hadn't dug two more closer to the house. We'll have to try that one again. - F

I agree. Next time, twice as many.

Agreed. You know, I like this journal idea. What a good way to keep track of our experiments, accomplishments and notes on our ... not so good results. -F

Right. Why didn't we start this a couple of years ago?

You couldn't write in cursive a couple of years ago. - F

Thanks for recording that.

That's all for today, Diary. Happy Birthday to us.
George
and Fred

Dear Angus,

Why do you insist on calling it Angus? - G

Shut up - I'm writing. Dear Angus. We're in trouble.

No, YOU are in trouble. It was YOUR idea. - G

We borrowed Percy's Potion set again and whatever we made with it has put a hole in the cauldron.

I knew that brew looked familiar. Isn't that the same one we tried with ours when we put a hole in it? - G

It's so big a mouse could crawl through it. On the upside, we've a really neat looking potion and we dont' know what it does yet. We're going out to the garden and try feeding it to the gnomes.

No way he won't notice. I think I'm going to just owl Percy right now and apologize for your horrible lack of manners and respect for his things. - G

Our only hope is to find money somehow and buy another set then replace his cauldron and ingredients.

We could sell Ron and/or Ginny. - G

That's our best bet. We're going to Diagon Alley tomorrow with Mum, so we'll try and pawn one of them off while she isn't looking.

She'll probably get mad at us, though, and wonder where we got the money for the potion set. - G

We'll say they ran away, and that we found the potion set... or that it came free with an ice cream at Fortescue's.

You're deluded. - G

It was your idea.

Ever yours,
Fred.
but not George. I'm not getting blamed for any of this.
